The festival is a family-friendly, culinary delight taking place in stunning Althorp Park, showcasing the best food and drink producers and suppliers that Northamptonshire and the surrounding counties have to offer. The Festival has gained significant prestige over the past five years, winning Best Event at a Historic House at the Northamptonshire Heritage Forum Awards.

Alongside the numerous shopping and tasting opportunities, guests can also become acquainted with top names in food and drink, through a programme of engaging demonstrations, masterclasses, and workshops.
